When a strong solution of tin(IV)bromide is added to a 50% solution of phenylethene in 1,2 dichloroethane, it is found that the viscocity of the mixture increases with time and the volume decreases with time

How would you explain the visible change in appearance of the mixture with time?
What could be the final product?
